how long does it takes for the tree to be able to grow fruit after there's nothing to harvest?

About 3-4 game years, has been my experience.

It takes four game years for a tree to mature. I can't answer the question about "after there's nothing to harvest" since that depends on how long before you run out of honey. Even if you do, the kids can always find mushrooms.

GRRRR The fog came and took away most of my food, there is not enough to harvest in the orchard or the bee hive, what do I do, I had over 1200 units yesterday now I have under 100 HELP please

That happened to me also. What I did was to create some magic food, pause for 24 hours and do it again until there's enough to continue. Until that time. I started another tribe and worked on that mainly.

Thank you I am trying that, my chief won't help until about 6 tonight, It is so frustrating though.

you know you don´t have to wait that long! If you´re impatient like me...PAUSE YOUR GAME FIRST, advance you computer clock to the wanted hour...and presto! it´s a little cheating, but I´m not a big fan of waiting

NOT a good idea! Time travelling, apart from being a form of cheating, can have unexpected effects both to the game and other programs on your computer. Even if it works without problems, you are likely to have problems when you want to reset the clock again.

I agree with that arnie. I used to do that on VV1 until all of my tribes got killed when I wanted to set the clock back! I recommend just pausing and waiting.

Thank you for all your help everyone, I waited awhile then unpause, low and behold it rained so I used the lift and got a piece of fruit. I checked the orchard and hooray fruit was ready. My chief just created more so hopefully I will be set for now. I need about 17,000 to get the pitcher plant and I can get rid of the sharks. I know I am probley way behaind all of you, but I wouldn't have you to help me otherwise. THANKS YOU ALL AGAIN!!!:)
